Hello and thank you for visiting AikiWeb, the

The "Voices of Experience" forum was created to provide a semi-closed forum for people with at least twenty years of active experience in aikido. Although the forum will be readable by everyone, only those with at least twenty years of active aikido experience will be given permission to post in this forum.

If you wish to apply for permission to post in the "Voices of Experience" forum, please fill out the form located here and follow the insturctions therein to send in the form. Permission to post in the "Voices of Experience" forum may be taken away at any time.

Welcome to everyone taking part in this forum. I am looking forward to the possiblities in opening lines of communication and sharing of experience from all of us that have continued the practice of budo through all the times when it would have been much easier to quit.

I have re-configured the Voices of Experience forum so that any registered member can start a thread.

So, if you have thoughts, questions, or anything that you wish to have fielded by the Voices of Experience members, please feel welcome to start a new thread.

Please note, though, that unless you've filled out this form to certify that you have had over twenty years of active training specifically in aikido, you will not be able to respond to any of the threads.

Since I didn't hear any objections, I have changed the permissions in the Voices of Experience forum to allow all registered AikiWeb members to start a thread and also be able to reply to their own thread.

Once again, as I wrote earlier up above:
